Congrats to the both of you...even if you two are probably the least exciting two people who could have made it to the end.

Personally, I thought you two would have been voted out a long time ago so good job for proving me wrong.

Coming into this Final Tribal Council, I'm essentially voting for the lesser of two borings.

Out of everyone in this game, I talked to you two the least, aside from Ethan.

I'll try to make this quick and painless for you guys since your effort ability is minimal.

Colby, I quickly got into an alliance with you at the very beginning of the game. In fact, you asked me to be in an alliance so quickly after I met you that I was skeptical that you had asked many more people to be in one as well. I really thought you were going to be a power player. And then, after the first round, you seemed to fall back a lot in activity levels since we just happened to keep winning. You were definitely more talkative than Shirin, but not much more active than her. Regardless, I have to pick one of you. I, personally, appreciate that you didn't vote against me when I got voted out, even though you didn't know I was going. You were the most loyal to me in this game out of anyone so I have to give that some credit. For your question, what was the most challenging decision/moment for you in this game? Good luck.

Shirin, I don't even know what to say. I'm still trying to figure out what you like actually did. You were by far the most inactive person post-merge until Brendan went MIA. It seems almost every single person I talked to said they didn't like you or were indifferent towards you since it felt like you were online like once a week honestly. At times, you did so well at playing dead that I thought you might actually be dead. You can try to convince me you got to the end by skill, but it was truly luck. You never went to tribal pre-merge and you were a goat post-merge. I want you to convince me why you are not a goat. Throughout this game, it seems you didn't have a good perception on much. In your opening statement, you said me and Colby were inseparable, but that was not the case at all. He was way closer to Alina than he was to me. Did you even know that the hidden immunity idol Cass played was actually mine? Anyways, good luck and prove to me you are a player and not another Will Sims.

Thank you finalists.

Hey Erinn!

Yeah, I can tell this is one of the most exciting finals ever 


It's funny that you were skeptical about how fast I asked you for an alliance because I was freaking out. No one had approached me to work together or anything and since you were the person I talked to the most at the time and I thought you were cool I decided to test my luck with you since I thought it was kinda late in the game. The alliance with Alina came a round or two after if I'm not mistaken. 


Regarding the activity between me and Shirin I definitely think I was more active than her in camp, challenges, being online, etc. Even when I won the final immunity, Cassandra pleaded her case a lot to me and I never heard from Shirin. Nada! Zero!


To your question. My most challenging decision was going back on my plan to have an all Chencha final 3 and have Cassandra in it instead as well as going back on my plan to take Alina to the end with me. When Shirin and her turned on you I knew they were probably gonna take each other to the final 2 so I just decided to throw a wrench in their plans and maybe if either Cassandra or Shirin had won that last challenge they both would have taken me to the final 2. 


Thank you!

if I had won the final challenge I would have taken Cass out of solidarity because I had grown to adore her, just saying.

as for my perception of yours and Colby's relationship, Erinn, I guess it just came from the fact that I knew Alina and I were each other's number ones so I didn't even factor in other relationships she may have had, because I knew she would always come back to me.

there was totally a lot of luck involved in me getting here, but it's pretty much the same for Colby (except he won some key ICs on top of that). I made the one strong alliance I needed to navigate through the post-Gorgoea minefield, and also got Cass to like me. I never really needed immunity. Alina and I were plotting Morgan's blindside rounds before it actually happened, and we were intending on taking Cass out at 5 for a while before I got close to her and I decided that getting rid of you or Colby (whoever didn't win immunity) would be the better option because I thought I could maybe have Cass not force the tiebreaker if anyone but Colby won the F4 IC. I convinced Alina to vote for you. If I hadn't, one of us would have been idoled out. I assumed the idol was yours - after Morgan did not have it I thought that you must have picked it up - and that did admittedly make me second guess my decision to put votes on you at F5. thankfully, it paid off. I know my visibility sucked, and I know I seemed like I was dead in the water a lot of the time, but I was here and I was strategising and thinking about the game a lot more than you might think.

For the record, I really liked you and I found how straight up you were both refreshing and endearing. I'm sorry for being such a shitty communicator. I do hope we meet again in another game

Thank you both for your honest and thorough answers!

I apologize if I was sassy and aggressive, but I just wanted to see you guys come at me guns ablazing

Good luck to the both of you.
